Will Stratton - New Vanguard Blues

New Vanguard Blues

You are child prodigy/wunderkind if you are playing serious piano at the age of four and if you record your first album at the age of 16. You are wise kid if you hire Sufjean Stevens to play oboe and Essie Jain to sing backing vocals on your rookie and sophomore effort (respectively). You are the future of rock'n'roll if you sound like tamed Kurt Vile meets John Cale in Paris 1919 phase. You are so cool if you call your new album "New Vanguard Blues" and the title appropriately represent the content. Will Stratton is all of this. And more!
